Hi, I'm trying to cycle through the children elements of a parent and store their ID's in a variable. But I am having trouble updating the variable properly. It's overwriting the variable instead of adding to it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the error is in this.

*edit* ok I think I solved it actually. Though it's crude... is this an acceptable method?


$("#size4").click(function() {
    var child;
    var idList;
    var newidList;
        $(this).each(function() {
            $(this).children().each(function() {
                child = $(this).attr("id");
                idList = idList + " " + child;
                newidList = idList.replace("undefined", "");
                alert(newidList);
            });
        });
    });
